So, Vigabatrin is this kind of anticonvulsant drug. It’s known as a GABA transaminase inhibitor. They use it for super stubborn epilepsy cases and something called infantile spasms, where nothing else seems to work.
The way it works is by boosting GABA levels in the brain, which is like this brain chemical that helps calm down seizures. You can get Vigabatrin in two types: there’s a 500 mg tablet and this powdery stuff in little packets. The doc usually suggests you take between 1 and 3 grams a day, split up into a few doses.
These tablets come in bottles with 100 in each, so it’s easy for both adults and kids to use.
